- 21 - 4. Setting Up the Standar d Model 4.1 Bef ore Connection Before connecting the cables, confirm that all devices, including the computer system and the COOLSCAN II, are turned off. For an IBM PC/AT or compatible in which a SCSI board has not been installed, install a SCSI board as explained in the manual supplied with the board.
- 22 - 4.2 Connecting the P o w er Cord Before connecting the power cord, confirm that the unit’s power switch is in the off position. Insert the female end of the supplied power cord into the AC inlet located on the rear panel, then insert the plug into the AC power outlet.
- 23 - 4.3 Connecting the SCSI Cable Before connecting the SCSI cable, confirm that all SCSI devices, including the computer system, have been turned off. Connect the unit to the computer using the SCSI cable. After attaching the connector, be sure to lock it in place.
- 24 - SCSI Chain Connection with Other De vices If Scanner is connected at the end of the SCSI chain: • Connect the 50-pin full pitch connector of the SCSI cable to the SCSI connector located on the rear panel of the unit, and insert the other end to the SCSI connector of other SCSI device.
- 25 - Remarks • The maximum number of SCSI devices that can be connected to one computer is eight including the CPU. When using with a host computer with a built-in SCSI hard disk or built-in CD-ROM, note that SCSI ID numbers have been pre-assigned for the host CPU and the SCSI devices.
- 26 - 4.4 Setting the SCSI ID The SCSI ID for the COOLSCAN II is set at “5” when the unit is shipped. If other SCSI devices are connected to your computer, make sure that the SCSI ID for the COOLSCAN II is different from those assigned to other SCSI devices.
- 27 - 5. Setting Up the Internal-mount Model The internal-mount scanner is easy to install, following the procedure described below. 5.1 Befor e Installing The internal-mount scanner is shown below. Note that the front of the internal-mount model is identical to that of the standard model.
- 28 - Both sides of the internal-mount scanner are identical as shown below. Note the set of two tapped holes on each side. One set of holes on each side of the scanner will be used for the rails as shown in this figure.
- 29 - Installing the guide rails Different computers have their own special requirements for mounting devices in an internal drive bay. In most cases, a pair of guide rails are screwed to the sides of the scanner to enable it to be slid into the drive bay.
- 30 - The computer drive bay has one or two metal stops screwed into the tapped holes on the sides of each half-height drive slot. These should be loosened to allow them to either be removed or to hang freely so they do not block the drive bay receptacles for the guide rails.
- 31 - Installing the internal-mount scanner in the driv e ba y Step 1—Connect the SCSI cable to the scanner Connect one end of the flat 50-pin SCSI cable to the 50-pin SCSI connector on the rear of the internal-mount scanner as shown below. Insure that Pin 1 of the cable is aligned with Pin 1 of the scanner.
- 32 - Step 4—Feed the computer power connector Feed the computer power 4-pin connector, through the drive bay from the inside as far as it will extend out through the drive bay. Connect the cords with each 12V DC or 5V DC connector. Note: When you establish a ground, connect a grounding cable (not provided) to the GND screw.
- 33 - Step 6—Connect the power connector Connect the 4-pin power connector of the computer to the 4- pin power connector of the scanner. Note that both connectors are keyed so that one side of the connector is beveled. Be careful to insure that the beveled edges are properly aligned.
- 34 - Determining which ID to use If the scanner is the only SCSI device that will be connected to the SCSI bus, there is no need to change the SCSI ID from the preset value. If the scanner must share the SCSI bus with one or more other peripherals, it is necessary to insure that no two peripherals have the same ID.
- 35 - Setting the SCSI ID on the Internal Scanner The SCSI ID is set by a set of DIP switches on the back of the internal-mount scanner as shown below. In most cases, these DIP switches will not be changed. If it is necessary to change the default SCSI ID, change the position of the DIP switches to the proper SCSI ID.
- 36 - 5.4 T erminating the SCSI Chain The SCSI chain is an electrical bus connecting two or more devices. It is critical that this bus be correctly terminated for the SCSI peripherals to work properly. Termination is an electronics term that applies to the impedance found at both ends of the bus.
- 37 - Remarks • When connecting the terminator to the scanner, insert it straight, and correctly aligned with the locator key, taking care not to bend the pins. • When removing the terminator from the scanner, pull it straight out, taking care not to bend the pins.
- 38 - 5.6 Connecting to the Computer SCSI The SCSI port on the computer is a connector located either inside the computer or on the rear panel of the computer. There are three basic types of SCSI connectors dealt with in this manual: the 50-pin internal connector, standard 25-pin DB25 type connector, and 50-pin external Centronics connector.
- 39 - Care must be exercised when inserting and removing these 50- pin connectors. The connecting pins are rather fragile. Follow the rules below when handling these connectors. 1. Never force the connector in and out. 2. Make sure that the connectors are properly aligned before inserting.
- 40 - Typically, the scanner will be the only peripheral on the internal SCSI bus. If this is the case, the 50-pin cable provided will work. In some cases, the scanner will not be the only peripheral on the internal SCSI bus. When this occurs, the SCSI cable provided will not work.
- 41 - 6. Operation 6.1 T urning on the P o w er Turn the COOLSCAN II on first, the other SCSI devices next, and the host computer last. If your scanner is the internal- mount model, you need not turn the COOLSCAN II on. After turning the power on, the LED will begin to blink to indicate scanner initialization.
- 42 - 6.2 Film Inser tion The COOLSCAN II can scan different types of 35mm positive/ negative monochrome/color images. In addition, it can scan a film strip of up to 6 frames or single film ‘chips’. Inser tion of Mounted slides The COOLSCAN II can scan mounted slides as they are.
- 43 - The standard orientation of a mounted portrait or landscape slide is shown below. If the top and bottom are reversed, the image can be flipped using software.
- 44 - Inser tion of Film Strip Insert the film strip into the attached film holder FH-2, and then insert the holder into the film slot of the front panel of the unit. Step 1 Remove the cover latch and open the upper holder. Be sure the word Nikon, printed on the adaptor cover of the upper holder is facing upward.
- 45 - Step 3 Align each image of the strip film with an aperture in the lower holder. Step 4 Close the upper holder, aligning both ends of the upper holder and the lower holder. Fasten the latches at both ends of the holder after securing the adaptor cover and fastening the cover latch.
- 46 - Step 5 Align the image to be read with either of the two apertures in the silver-colored adaptor frame. Insert the film holder in the film slot of the front panel in the scanner , with placing the aperture through which the image is to be read toward the slot.
- 47 - Step 6 Insert the film holder until it touches the back of the stage and is aligned with the edge of film slot, as shown. Remarks • Do not force the film holder into the scanner. • Though the film holder is made of plastic, it will be damaged if film is forced into it.
- 48 - 7. T r oubleshooting If something unusual should occur, please check the following items before you conclude that there is a unit failure. For more details, refer to the Troubleshooting section of the software manual. Scanner cannot turned on. • Is the Power cord connected? Connect the Power cord.
